32 hourstracing: Switch trace_osnoise.c code over to use guard() and __free()Steven Rostedt1-27/+13
[ Upstream commit 930d2b32c0af6895ba4c6ca6404e7f7b6dc214ed ] The osnoise_hotplug_workfn() grabs two mutexes and cpu_read_lock(). It has various gotos to handle unlocking them. Switch them over to guard() and let the compiler worry about it. The osnoise_cpus_read() has a temporary mask_str allocated and there's some gotos to make sure it gets freed on error paths. Switch that over to __free() to let the compiler worry about it.

9 daystracing: Add recursion protection in kernel stack trace recordingSteven Rostedt1-0/+6
[ Upstream commit 5f1ef0dfcb5b7f4a91a9b0e0ba533efd9f7e2cdb ] A bug was reported about an infinite recursion caused by tracing the rcu events with the kernel stack trace trigger enabled. The stack trace code called back into RCU which then called the stack trace again. Expand the ftrace recursion protection to add a set of bits to protect events from recursion. Each bit represents the context that the event is in (normal, softirq, interrupt and NMI). Have the stack trace code use the interrupt context to protect against recursion. Note, the bug showed an issue in both the RCU code as well as the tracing stacktrace code. This only handles the tracing stack trace side of the bug. The RCU fix will be handled separately.

9 daystracing: Fix trace_buf_size= cmdline parameter with sizes >= 2GCalvin Owens1-3/+3
commit d008ba8be8984760e36d7dcd4adbd5a41a645708 upstream. Some of the sizing logic through tracer_alloc_buffers() uses int internally, causing unexpected behavior if the user passes a value that does not fit in an int (on my x86 machine, the result is uselessly tiny buffers). Fix by plumbing the parameter's real type (unsigned long) through to the ring buffer allocation functions, which already use unsigned long. It has always been possible to create larger ring buffers via the sysfs interface: this only affects the cmdline parameter.

9 daystracing: Fix syscall events activation by ensuring refcount hits zeroHuiwen He1-15/+37
commit 0a663b764dbdf135a126284f454c9f01f95a87d4 upstream. When multiple syscall events are specified in the kernel command line (e.g., trace_event=syscalls:sys_enter_openat,syscalls:sys_enter_close), they are often not captured after boot, even though they appear enabled in the tracing/set_event file. The issue stems from how syscall events are initialized. Syscall tracepoints require the global reference count (sys_tracepoint_refcount) to transition from 0 to 1 to trigger the registration of the syscall work (TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) for tasks, including the init process (pid 1). The current implementation of early_enable_events() with disable_first=true used an interleaved sequence of "Disable A -> Enable A -> Disable B -> Enable B". If multiple syscalls are enabled, the refcount never drops to zero, preventing the 0->1 transition that triggers actual registration. Fix this by splitting early_enable_events() into two distinct phases: 1. Disable all events specified in the buffer. 2. Enable all events specified in the buffer. This ensures the refcount hits zero before re-enabling, allowing syscall events to be properly activated during early boot. The code is also refactored to use a helper function to avoid logic duplication between the disable and enable phases.

9 daystracing: Add NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free()Guenter Roeck1-0/+3
[ Upstream commit 457965c13f0837a289c9164b842d0860133f6274 ] If trigger_data_alloc() fails and returns NULL, event_hist_trigger_parse() jumps to the out_free error path. While kfree() safely handles a NULL pointer, trigger_data_free() does not. This causes a NULL pointer dereference in trigger_data_free() when evaluating data->cmd_ops->set_filter. Fix the problem by adding a NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free(). The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

2026-03-04tracing: Wake up poll waiters for hist files when removing an eventPetr Pavlu1-0/+3
[ Upstream commit 9678e53179aa7e907360f5b5b275769008a69b80 ] The event_hist_poll() function attempts to verify whether an event file is being removed, but this check may not occur or could be unnecessarily delayed. This happens because hist_poll_wakeup() is currently invoked only from event_hist_trigger() when a hist command is triggered. If the event file is being removed, no associated hist command will be triggered and a waiter will be woken up only after an unrelated hist command is triggered. Fix the issue by adding a call to hist_poll_wakeup() in remove_event_file_dir() after setting the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag. This ensures that a task polling on a hist file is woken up and receives EPOLLERR.

2026-03-04tracing: Fix checking of freed trace_event_file for hist filesPetr Pavlu1-2/+2
[ Upstream commit f0a0da1f907e8488826d91c465f7967a56a95aca ] The event_hist_open() and event_hist_poll() functions currently retrieve a trace_event_file pointer from a file struct by invoking event_file_data(), which simply returns file->f_inode->i_private. The functions then check if the pointer is NULL to determine whether the event is still valid. This approach is flawed because i_private is assigned when an eventfs inode is allocated and remains set throughout its lifetime. Instead, the code should call event_file_file(), which checks for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED. Using the incorrect access function may result in the code potentially opening a hist file for an event that is being removed or becoming stuck while polling on this file. Correct the access method to event_file_file() in both functions.

2026-03-04tracing: Fix false sharing in hwlat get_sample()Colin Lord1-8/+7
[ Upstream commit f743435f988cb0cf1f521035aee857851b25e06d ] The get_sample() function in the hwlat tracer assumes the caller holds hwlat_data.lock, but this is not actually happening. The result is unprotected data access to hwlat_data, and in per-cpu mode can result in false sharing which may show up as false positive latency events. The specific case of false sharing observed was primarily between hwlat_data.sample_width and hwlat_data.count. These are separated by just 8B and are therefore likely to share a cache line. When one thread modifies count, the cache line is in a modified state so when other threads read sample_width in the main latency detection loop, they fetch the modified cache line. On some systems, the fetch itself may be slow enough to count as a latency event, which could set up a self reinforcing cycle of latency events as each event increments count which then causes more latency events, continuing the cycle. The other result of the unprotected data access is that hwlat_data.count can end up with duplicate or missed values, which was observed on some systems in testing. Convert hwlat_data.count to atomic64_t so it can be safely modified without locking, and prevent false sharing by pulling sample_width into a local variable. One system this was tested on was a dual socket server with 32 CPUs on each numa node. With settings of 1us threshold, 1000us width, and 2000us window, this change reduced the number of latency events from 500 per second down to approximately 1 event per minute. Some machines tested did not exhibit measurable latency from the false sharing.

[ Upstream commit 0550069cc25f513ce1f109c88f7c1f01d63297db ] Memory allocated with trigger_data_alloc() requires trigger_data_free() for proper cleanup. Replace kfree() with trigger_data_free() to fix this. Found via static analysis and code review. This isn't a real bug due to the current code basically being an open coded version of trigger_data_free() without the synchronization. The synchronization isn't needed as this is the error path of creation and there's nothing to synchronize against yet. Replace the kfree() to be consistent with the allocation.

2026-02-11ring-buffer: Avoid softlockup in ring_buffer_resize() during memory freeWupeng Ma1-0/+2
[ Upstream commit 6435ffd6c7fcba330dfa91c58dc30aed2df3d0bf ] When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb', then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each cpu in a loop.

2026-02-11tracing: Fix ftrace event field alignmentsSteven Rostedt3-21/+33
[ Upstream commit 033c55fe2e326bea022c3cc5178ecf3e0e459b82 ] The fields of ftrace specific events (events used to save ftrace internal events like function traces and trace_printk) are generated similarly to how normal trace event fields are generated. That is, the fields are added to a trace_events_fields array that saves the name, offset, size, alignment and signness of the field. It is used to produce the output in the format file in tracefs so that tooling knows how to parse the binary data of the trace events. The issue is that some of the ftrace event structures are packed. The function graph exit event structures are one of them. The 64 bit calltime and rettime fields end up 4 byte aligned, but the algorithm to show to userspace shows them as 8 byte aligned. The macros that create the ftrace events has one for embedded structure fields. There's two macros for theses fields: __field_desc() and __field_packed() The difference of the latter macro is that it treats the field as packed. Rename that field to __field_desc_packed() and create replace the __field_packed() to be a normal field that is packed and have the calltime and rettime use those. This showed up on 32bit architectures for function graph time fields. It had: ~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/funcgraph_exit/format [..] field:unsigned long func; offset:8; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned int depth; offset:12; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned int overrun; offset:16; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned long long calltime; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; field:unsigned long long rettime; offset:32; size:8; signed:0; Notice that overrun is at offset 16 with size 4, where in the structure calltime is at offset 20 (16 + 4), but it shows the offset at 24. That's because it used the alignment of unsigned long long when used as a declaration and not as a member of a structure where it would be aligned by word size (in this case 4). By using the proper structure alignment, the format has it at the correct offset: ~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/funcgraph_exit/format [..] field:unsigned long func; offset:8; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned int depth; offset:12; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned int overrun; offset:16; size:4; signed:0; field:unsigned long long calltime; offset:20; size:8; signed:0; field:unsigned long long rettime; offset:28; size:8; signed:0; Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reported-by: "jempty.liang" <imntjempty@163.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260204113628.53faec78@gandalf.local.home Fixes: 04ae87a52074e ("ftrace: Rework event_create_dir()") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260130015740.212343-1-imntjempty@163.com/ Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260202123342.2544795-1-imntjempty@163.com/ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> [ adapted field types and macro arguments ] Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2026-01-30tracing: Fix crash on synthetic stacktrace field usageSteven Rostedt2-1/+16
commit 90f9f5d64cae4e72defd96a2a22760173cb3c9ec upstream. When creating a synthetic event based on an existing synthetic event that had a stacktrace field and the new synthetic event used that field a kernel crash occurred: ~# cd /sys/kernel/tracing ~# echo 's:stack unsigned long stack[];' > dynamic_events ~# echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:s0=common_stacktrace if prev_state & 3' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger ~# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:s1=$s0:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).trace(stack,$s1)' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger The above creates a synthetic event that takes a stacktrace when a task schedules out in a non-running state and passes that stacktrace to the sched_switch event when that task schedules back in.

In trace_event_raw_event_synth() the event is field is still treated as a dynamic array, but the retrieval of the data is considered a normal field, and the reference is just the meta data: // Meta data is retrieved instead of a dynamic array str_val = (char *)(long)var_ref_vals[val_idx]; // Then when it tries to process it: len = *((unsigned long *)str_val) + 1; It triggers a kernel page fault. To fix this, first when defining the fields of the first synthetic event, set the filter type to FILTER_STACKTRACE. This is used later by the second synthetic event to know that this field is a stacktrace. When creating the field of the new synthetic event, have it use this FILTER_STACKTRACE to know to create a stacktrace field to copy the stacktrace into.

2026-01-11tracing: Fix fixed array of synthetic eventSteven Rostedt1-1/+0
commit 47ef834209e5981f443240d8a8b45bf680df22aa upstream. The commit 4d38328eb442d ("tracing: Fix synth event printk format for str fields") replaced "%.*s" with "%s" but missed removing the number size of the dynamic and static strings. The commit e1a453a57bc7 ("tracing: Do not add length to print format in synthetic events") fixed the dynamic part but did not fix the static part. That is, with the commands: # echo 's:wake_lat char[] wakee; u64 delta;' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts=common_timestamp.usecs if !(common_flags & 0x18)' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wake_lat,next_comm,$delta)' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger That caused the output of: <idle>-0 [001] d..5. 193.428167: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)sshd-sessiondelta=155 sshd-session-879 [001] d..5. 193.811080: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u34:5delta=58 <idle>-0 [002] d..5. 193.811198: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)bashdelta=91 The commit e1a453a57bc7 fixed the part where the synthetic event had "char[] wakee". But if one were to replace that with a static size string: # echo 's:wake_lat char[16] wakee; u64 delta;' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events Where "wakee" is defined as "char[16]" and not "char[]" making it a static size, the code triggered the "(efaul)" again. Remove the added STR_VAR_LEN_MAX size as the string is still going to be nul terminated.

2026-01-11ftrace: bpf: Fix IPMODIFY + DIRECT in modify_ftrace_direct()Song Liu1-9/+31
[ Upstream commit 3e9a18e1c3e931abecf501cbb23d28d69f85bb56 ] ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() checks IPMODIFY and DIRECT ftrace_ops on the same kernel function. When needed, ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() calls ops->ops_func() to prepare the direct ftrace (BPF trampoline) to share the same function as the IPMODIFY ftrace (livepatch). ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() is called in register_ftrace_direct() path, but not called in modify_ftrace_direct() path. As a result, the following operations will break livepatch: 1. Load livepatch to a kernel function; 2. Attach fentry program to the kernel function; 3. Attach fexit program to the kernel function. After 3, the kernel function being used will not be the livepatched version, but the original version. Fix this by adding __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() to __modify_ftrace_direct() and adjust some logic around the call.

2025-12-01ftrace: Fix BPF fexit with livepatchSong Liu1-6/+14
[ Upstream commit 56b3c85e153b84f27e6cff39623ba40a1ad299d3 ] When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct() twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue: insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}' ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show... Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits errors. Also, move the code that resets ops->func and ops->trampoline to the error path of register_ftrace_direct(); and add a helper function reset_direct() in register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct().

[ Upstream commit 80f0d631dcc76ee1b7755bfca1d8417d91d71414 ] The function create_field_var() allocates memory for 'val' through create_hist_field() inside parse_atom(), and for 'var' through create_var(), which in turn allocates var->type and var->var.name internally. Simply calling kfree() to release these structures will result in memory leaks.

2025-10-02minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhereLinus Torvalds1-2/+0
[ Upstream commit 1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4 ] This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to simplify the min()/max() macros. These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a few different approaches: - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new generic MIN/MAX macros automatically. - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the generic version automatically" case. - strange use case #1 A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their versioning is with #define MAJ 1 #define MIN 2 #define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN) which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as #define DRV_VERSION "1.2" instead. - strange use case #2 A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random 'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than the traditional macro that takes arguments. These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new function-line macros only expand when followed by an open parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use. Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

commit 456c32e3c4316654f95f9d49c12cbecfb77d5660 upstream. Since dynamic_events interface on tracefs is compatible with kprobe_events and uprobe_events, it should also check the lockdown status and reject if it is set.

Let tr->filtered_pids owns one pid and register sched_switch tracepoint. 2. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid, and perform fault injection during chunk allocation of trace_pid_list_alloc. Let pid_list with no pid and assign to tr->filtered_pids. 3. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to tr->filtered_pids. 4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register sched_switch tracepoint warning. The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let's add failure handling logic to trace_pid_list_set.

2025-09-19tracing: Fix tracing_marker may trigger page fault during preempt_disableLuo Gengkun1-2/+2
[ Upstream commit 3d62ab32df065e4a7797204a918f6489ddb8a237 ] Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call __copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case, __copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule() subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will be trigger: if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing))) An example can illustrate this issue: process flow CPU --------------------------------------------------------------------- tracing_mark_raw_write(): cpu:0 ... ring_buffer_lock_reserve(): cpu:0 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:0 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:0 ... ... __copy_from_user_inatomic(): cpu:0 ...
